Definitions
- This invention relates to an improvement in a cylinder head structure of a four-stroke engine having a so-called dual-cam-type actuation device in which an inlet camshaft for actuating inlet valves and an exhaust camshaft for actuating exhaust valves are provided separately from each other.
- the object of the present invention is to reduce as much as possible the overall height of an engine of the above-mentioned type in which the height is liable to become large.
- inlet and exhaust valves have been actuated separately by camshafts in order to improve the output of a car engine at a high speed (for example, Japanese Laid Open Patent Publication No. 59-165,810).
- the present invention has as its object the solving of the above-mentioned problems and reduction of the height and width of a cylinder head as much as possible, and provides a device comprising three inlet valves disposed on an inside surface of a cylinder bore, and a common inlet camshaft for actuating the inlet valves through valve lifters, wherein the axes of the three inlet valves cross on a phantom axis which is in parallel with the axis of the inlet camshaft and wherein the axis of the inlet camshaft is located on the valve seat side from the phantom axis.
- the inlet camshaft 10 is disposed on the valve seat 5c side from the phantom axis 12 on which the axes of the inlet valves 5 cross, the height of the engine is lowered so much.
- the engagement is achieved with a slight offset between the inlet camshaft and each lifter 9 driven by the inlet camshaft or between each lifter and the axis of the corresponding inlet valve.
- the inlet valves are driven by rotation of the inlet camshaft through the lifters.
- a four-stroke engine having a combustion chamber 2 defined by a cylinder head 3, a cylinder 4 and a piston 5.
- Three inlet valves 5 and two exhaust valves 6 are disposed along the inside surface of a cylinder bore 4a of the cylinder head 3, thereby to form a so-called semispherical combustion chamber.
- the reference numeral 7 denotes an inlet passage leading to the combustion chamber 2 through each inlet valves 5, and 8 an exhaust passage leading to the combustion chamber 2 through each exhaust valve 6.
- inlet valves 5 and exhaust valves 6 are actuated by a common inlet camshaft 10 and a common exhaust camshaft 11, respectively, through valve lifters 9 each slidably fitted into a guide hole 3a of the cylinder head 3.
- the both side two valves 5a and 5a are disposed in parallel with each other and the central valve 5b is disposed obliquely relative to the both side valves 5a and 5a with an angle similar to the axis of the cylinder bore 4a.
- the axes of these valves cross at a point on a phantom axis 12 which is in parallel with the axis of the inlet camshaft 10.
- the axis 10a of the inlet camshaft 10 is located at a position nearer to a valve seat 5c of the inlet valve than the phatom axis 12 is.
- the inlet camshaft 10 is desposed on the valve seat side from the phantom axis 12 on which the axes of inlet valves 5 cross.
- the engagement is achieved with a slight offset between the inlet camshaft 10 and the valve lifter 9 driven by the inlet camshaft or between the valve lifter 9 and the axis of the inlet valve 5. Since the valve lifter 9 has relatively a large diameter and since the area of contact between the lifter and the sliding surface in the cylinder head 3 is also large, it is possible to prevent a large biasing force from acting on the inlet valves 5 by suitably adjusting the gap in the sliding surface.
- the present invention provides a device comprising three inlet valves 5 provided along a cylinder bore 4a of a cylinder head 3, wherein the axes of the three inlet valves 5 cross on a phantom axis 12 which is in parallel with the axis of the inlet camshaft 10 and wherein the axis of the inlet camshaft 10 is located on the valve seat 5c side from the phantom axis 12, the height of an engine can be lowered so much, thereby to give an effect that the engine can be accommodated in a relatively small engine room.
- FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of an engine
- Fig. 2 is a view showing a relationship between an inlet valve and a camshaft
- Fig. 3 is a view, corresponding to Fig. 2, showing another embodiment. 3a... guide hole, 4a... cylinder bore, 5... inlet valve, 10... inlet camshaft, 12... phantom axis, X... offset
